President Obama's visit to Jimmy Kimmel Live! last night delivered both serious moments (touching on Ferguson and student loans) and hilarious clips (including rousing discussions of aliens and Kanye West)—but, politics aside, one of the highlights had to be when the commander in chief faced the tough critics of the Twitterverse in a presidential edition of Mean Tweets. And no matter your opinions on his policy, let's all remember that "presidents are people too" (but you can still laugh at the tweets). Enjoy! I've certainly seen "meaner" tweets on Kimmel in the past, but Obama took them like a good sport. And if you're looking for more Friday-morning laughs, be sure to check out Sean Penn's thoughts on the two Bachelorettes. read more

While last night's Academy Awards show was just shades north of meh (save for a few highlights), Jimmy Kimmel's After the Oscars special hit on all the right notes (except for a brief moment of John Travolta face-touching—yuck). Kimmel's live special had everything the Oscars did—NPH, all the stars, even a trophy—but many more laughs in the process. Here's a look at the most hilarious moments. Lie Witness News Kimmel's team hit the streets of Hollywood to ask people their opinions of fake castings and movies, like Woody Allen's Let's All Forget About What Happened and Angelina Jolie as Rosa Parks in Selma. "What was your favorite part?" "I would say...the beginning." The Kimmel School of Perfect Acting, Part 1 Apparently, everyone who's anyone in Hollywood—Benedict Cumberbatch, Susan Sarandon, Lupita Nyong'o, Jennifer Aniston—has been coached by Kimmel in a beret and five-fingers workout shoes. Eddie Redmayne doing anything! I love. J.K. Simmons stopped by... ...And forgot to mention Jimmy Kimmel during his so-sweet speech/plea for everyone to call their parents. The Kimmel School of Perfect Acting, Part 2 Any clip with John Krasinski immediately has my heart. And poor Matt Damon as a lamp! What clip had you cracking up read more

This Sunday may be all about celebrating music's best talents at the Grammys, but Jimmy Kimmel helped keep all egos in check with a friendly rendition of Mean Tweets: Music Edition last night. Facing the brutal Twitter-verse this time around were several Grammy nominees, including Sam Smith, Haim, Iggy Azalea, Sia, Ed Sheeran, Jessie J, Ariana Grande, and Katy Perry—and not everyone took their 140-character lashing well. Watch for yourselves below! Poor Ed Sheeran—he looked so genuinely bummed at being called ugly—but everyone else seemed to take their insults in stride. Between mean tweets and the Super Bowl lip-synch battle, late night is providing all of my comedic relief as of late (that is, of course, until Megan's weekly Bachelor recap!). Not that it's nice to poke fun, but which mean tweet had you laughing the hardest? read more

I have to tell you all three secrets: (1) When I interviewed Juan Pablo at last year's ABC Television Critics Association winter press tour party, he kind of freaked me out. He was not only handing out roses on the press line, but he also got right into my face while talking to me and I felt like I was being hypnotized. It was bizarre. (2) I pretty much stopped watching The Bachelor franchise (save for Bachelor in Paradise) after Emily Maynard's season. It just got too crazy and ridiculous. (3) But I started watching again because of Chris Soules, even though I never saw him on Andi Dorfman's season. Maybe it was because we're both from the Midwest, his handsome good looks, or that he seemed genuinely sweet, but whatever it was, I'm now totally hooked. Which is why it made for a very interesting interview at this year's ABC TCA party. Especially because it started off with actress Penelope Ann Miller (of ABC's new drama American Crime). Just read this. Glamour: Is it true that you basically started an Instagram because of The Bachelor? Penelope Ann Miller: I saw Chris at the pool and wasn’t going to go read more

Of all my favorite late-night skits, the battle for the top spot typically comes down to Jimmy Fallon's epic lip-synch battles and Jimmy Kimmel's mean tweets (except for the annual Halloween candy stunt, which always reigns supreme). Kimmel gained some major competitive edge with his eighth version of Mean Tweets last night, which—dare I say—might be his best ever, thanks to appearances from Lena Dunham, Britney Spears, Scott Foley, Lisa Kudrow, and others. Your move, Fallon. Breaking down my favorite moments: Gwyneth Paltrow compared to "Big Bird," Chloe Moretz's sassy, bleach-y response, and Chris Pratt's adorable "Awww." I also think it's worth pointing out that the meanest tweet they could find for John Stamos was about his belly button—because, let's face it, Uncle Jesse is damn near perfect. #Forever. Which mean tweet was your fave? read more

Every year we look forward to Jimmy Kimmel's funny—but also really terrifying and potentially mentally scarring—"I Told My Kids I Ate All Their Halloween Candy" video, and this year's video is here—it's here! This one includes the usual screaming, tantrums, and even some F-bombs. It almost makes me a little bit scared to ever run into these kiddos in a dark alley. But there's hope! Two little ones so, so sweetly (and quickly!) forgive their parents that it might even bring a tear to your eye. Watch: read more

The majority of Fashion Week is about spotting future trends, street style, and, yeah, sometimes dodging the paparazzi when Miley Cyrus presents her jewelry collection. But there's always room for some laughter, and Jimmy Kimmel has it covered with a special edition of Lie Witness News. In it, a Kimmel-sent reporter quizzes people outside of Lincoln Center about spring 2015, asking them to comment on the recent collections from non-designers like Chandler Bing, Betsy Ross, and Duck Dynasty's Phil Robertson. Spoiler alert: Glowing reviews ahead. If you had a camera and microphone in front of you, do you think you'd ever be confused enough to pretend like you knew what the reporter was talking about? read more

When Jennifer Aniston went on Jimmy Kimmel Live last week, she had a surprising confession to make: She's sipped Jimmy's wife's breast milk. "It’s like the one milk you don’t have to feel guilty about drinking," Jen told Jimmy. "It’s like no, that dairy is OK. But I had some of Molly’s." Actually, the confession wasn't a shocker for Jimmy. He responded: "I didn’t know if you wanted me to mention that but you did have some.... You breast-fed my wife." To that, Jen said: "I didn’t breast-feed her. She breast-fed me!... It's sweet, it’s almost coconut-milky. Come on, someone must've tasted breast milk in this audience?" I'm pretty sure Jen conducted this experiment just out of curiosity and not for health reasons—but some people believe breast milk has added health benefits, long after you're weaned as a baby. They report boosts in energy and improved immune systems. Experts aren't sure that any health benefits actually exist for adults, though, because mothers manufacture the milk specifically for infants' growing brains and bodies. Well! Would you ever try breast milk? read more

Not trying to make this a Team Angie/Team Jen thing, but the fact of the matter is: The unexpected/amazing Friends reunion that went down on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night is ten thousand times more important to me than the Jolie-Pitt wedding news. If you are of similar mind and heart—and even if you're not—I think you're gonna love what Kimmel did with Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow and a ridiculously accurate mini version of the iconic Friends set on his show last night. Tell me if I'm alone in this: My heart legitimately jumped seeing the purple door with the gold frame around the peephole. But wait, there's more. Anyone planning a fall sojourn to New York City may want to schedule it between September 17 and October 18, when Warner Bros. will be running a real live Central Perk in downtown Manhattan. There'll be real props from the show, the iconic orange couch (go early to avoid it inevitably getting infested by bedbugs—sorry, I'm paranoid/cynical), and even an appearance by Gunther at some point. I am clapping in Rembrandts-rhythm with happiness. read more

It's a good morning for Jimmy Kimmel! Not only was Jimmy Kimmel Live nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Variety Series, but, even better, his wife, Molly McNearney, gave birth to the couple's first child together, a daughter, this A.M. Jimmy announced the news via Twitter: Congratulations to my beautiful and very tough wife @mollymcnearney on delivering our baby girl this morning— Jimmy Kimmel (@jimmykimmel) July 10, 2014 And Molly had her own witty response: Kids, don't do drugs. Until you have a baby. Then do ALL OF THEM.— Molly McNearney (@mollymcnearney) July 10, 2014 Congrats, Jimmy and Molly!!! P.S. For the backstory on how they fell in love (and what it's like to work together), check out Jess's interview with Molly. read more

It's estimated that one in 133 Americans suffer from celiac disease and another 18 million Americans have non-celiac gluten sensitivity. For them, "gluten-free" is more than a diet buzzword—it's a necessity! But not everyone following a gluten-free diet seems to know what gluten actually is, as Jimmy Kimmel found out on his show: Hilarious! For the record: Gluten is a protein composite found in foods that are processed from wheat and related species of grain (including barley, rye, and spelt). So, yes: bread, crackers, cookies, cakes, and pasta are definitely culprits. But there are other things with gluten in them that you might not immediately expect—such as seitan (the vegetarian high-protein "meat" that's actually made entirely with wheat), tabouli (another vegetarian fave), couscous (um, starting to realize that "gluten-free" and "vegan" might be a rough combo), soy sauce, pudding, hot dogs, sausages, salad dressings...and even lip gloss. Oh, and here's another: certain varieties of marshmallows! I know this only because my six-year-old has apparently been talking about gluten with her school friends (insert quizzical look here), and she informed me that Peeps are gluten-free. Naturally, I researched it. She was right. Are you gluten-sensitive? Are there any other foods you read more

Last night on his post-Oscars show, Jimmy Kimmel premiered what might be my favorite moments to come out of last night: parody movie trailers based on classic viral videos, starring Chris and Liam Hemsworth in "Charlie Bit My Finger," Kevin Spacey as "Keyboard Cat," and more. I mean, Jimmy even got MERYL to join the fun. They're so good, I have a feeling movie executives are plotting their own YouTube-movie crossover right this second. A "Star Wars Kid" cameo in the upcoming franchise, perhaps? Watch 'em all: P.S. Don't forget to catch up on all the best moments from last night—from the Oscars ceremony to all the behind-the-scenes action. read more

Yesterday, I got irritated with the new show Mixology for, among other things, identifying Don Draper/him smacking you across the mouth as "real man" behavior. But guess what: In the past 24 hours, we've gotten to see two inspiring examples of what actual real-man behavior looks like: first Seth Rogen testified on Capitol Hill in support of Alzheimer's disease funding (in honor of his in-laws), then Jimmy Kimmel welcomed seven-year-old Max Wilford, a young boy battling brain cancer, onto his show to help promote Wilford's world-record challenge. (And facilitate a little Iron Man meet-and-greet.) It'll be the most touching thing you see all day: read more

She's a die-hard St. Louis Cardinals fan who's married to a New York Mets fanatic. But even that doesn't get in the way for Jimmy Kimmel and wife Molly McNearney. (Case in point: He bought her family tickets to the World Series!) In fact, the most interesting aspect of their relationship is that technically, Jimmy is Molly's boss—she's co-head writer for Jimmy Kimmel Live!. Molly, who started on the show 10 years ago as a writer's assistant and rose through the ranks, and Jimmy haven't shared much about how they got together before, but now Molly opens up to us about her first impression of Jimmy (it wasn't great), working with his ex Sarah Silverman, and why he's the most thoughtful man in the world. Glamour: You and Jimmy work in separate buildings. How does that actually work? Usually the writing staff is no more than "just down the hall" from the host. Molly McNearney: The writing staff is in the building next door, and Jimmy’s office is in the theater. Most of us write from home in the morning, and then we email all of our ideas to Jimmy. We are very separate from him, which is pretty good read more

This morning, Anna was like, "Did you see Jake Johnson on Kimmel? He was so cute!" And I was like, "Did you see Lupita Nyong'o on Fallon? She was so cool!" And thus, dear readers, this post was born. Let us share with you the two best sit-downs that happened while you were sleeping. First, on Fallon, Lupita revealed how she got her first name and talked affectionately about her family, which is serious business—like Forbes Most Powerful/the Internet's Most Enthusiastic business. Watch: Then, over on Kimmel, Jake discussed the only two topics I need him to discuss: Prince's upcoming guest spot on New Girl and his early turn in a Tampax Pearl commercial. His football conversation with the legendary musician is basically my Super Bowl. Also, at some point, he says "hunks." Enjoy: And BTW, you can watch that Tampax commercial right here. How far we've come from the days of sad chicken! read more

Deck the halls with boughs of Kimmel! You know how we can't get enough of Jennifer Lawrence's quick-witted remarks, reactions, and basically anything she does? Well, I think Jimmy Kimmel is the male equivalent of J.Law because the late-night host keeps holding our attention when it comes to crazy ideas and pranks (considering my penchant for red-carpet antics, I want to know why Jimmy and I are not BFFs already). Kimmel's latest target? He's moved on from the pre-K school crowd and gone after The Office alum (and next-door neighbor) John Krasinski in what might be his best prank yet. Watch: John's reaction to Guillermo? Priceless. And trying to get into his own door? Even better. Is this Kimmel's best prank yet? read more

Last night, funny girl Sarah Silverman had an uncomfortable moment we're all familiar with: inevitably running into your ex. You know how it always seems to happen when you're a guest on his talk show while promoting your own HBO comedy special. OK, so not exactly familiar. Even though it was planned and scheduled on TV, her talk with Jimmy Kimmel had all the signs of a usual ex-encounter. It was a little funny, a little bittersweet, and a lot awkward. Which, of course, was exaggerated for comedic effect when Sarah made her entrance on to the set carrying a cardboard box marked "Jimmy's stuff"... Even though they're clearly friendly and playing this for laughs, I couldn't help but notice that the always lovely Sarah skipped her usual quirky-casual outfit in exchange for the Full-On Bombshell Look: sleek blowout, tight dress and heels, and revenge boobs revenge boobs revenge boobs. Because it never hurts to look your hottest in front of ex, now does it? Even though this is SO funny did anyone else feel a little bit of genuine sadness in there? Just in the sense that old love is always a little sad? Oh God, am I just projecting read more

It's that time of year again: Jimmy Kimmel has released his third annual Super Bowl of kid-mental-scarring, otherwise known as "I Told My Kids I Ate All Their Halloween Candy." Otherwise otherwise known as a chance to watch kids go postal and/or reveal their hearts to be so pure our adult ones almost can't take it. Oh, but make no mistake, some of them are kind of terrifying. Particularly the kid who calmly reasons that he's going to kick his mother in the butt. One thing's for sure: All these tots appreciate their hard-earned sweets even more now. read more

I don't know what Kanye West has on Jimmy Kimmel, but I gotta think it's something bad, like sex-tape bad. Because the whole conciliatory sitdown West and Kimmel scheduled last night over the late-night sketch that offended West sort of reminded me of the principal's favorite kid getting called to the principal's office. The principal was like, Just kidding! You're not in trouble. You're not mad at ME, are you? In other words, Kimmel pretty much laid down and let Kanye steamroll him with a long rant (we've heard some version of it all before) about how he's an artist, how "infuriated" he was by the sketch (which involved children reading his BBC interview transcript—I tried to find the clip but it looks like it's been taken down), and how there wasn't H&M when he was growing up so he had to try hard to get Gucci slippers (?). Things got as far-flung off-topic as Kanye saying: "They're not gonna put my girl on the walk of fame because she's a reality star. There's no way Kim Kardashian shouldn't have a star on the walk of fame." Before I let you watch, I have to say one more thing, and read more
